why does that car say it's going 72mph? weird! n e way, mine is like 10 total seconds. sometimes slower like the windows if it's been sitting for awhile and battery is mad.

I think he got on the freeway, turned cruise control on, got up and sat on the trunk while holding onto the roll bar, took the pic, then hopped back in and drove off.

Just my thought though.....
Apparently he died while doing it because it seems he is in heaven.

Either way it is one of the fastest operating tops out there......................yes including the Z4 and Boxster (I saw that show too).

In comparison, my Mom dated a guy that had a Sebring and it took about 35 seconds to go down - no joke. We currently have a rented '07 Mustang vert and that top is slightly faster at about 25 seconds to go down. You can grab a light snack in the time it takes.

Just another reason why I love my S.

You guys are all wrong. Everyone should know, it depends on the color and Silverstone is always the fastest at 5.73 flat.
